UPDATE: 23XI Racing says Kobayashi will run the No. 50 next weekend. Furthermore, the team will run the No. 50 two more times this season with different drivers in celebration of Mobil 1’s 50th anniversary.
The car will still be a 23XI car, just with a different number.
A scheme fit for a celebration and the best things come in 3️⃣s
We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mobil 1 than running the 50 car (courtesy of @tmtracing50) three times with three drivers🤩
Stay tuned for more to come 👀”#Mobil1xTRD… pic.twitter.com/uXd8CLT0HP
